An outstanding new role has arisen for a corporate finance or asset finance lawyer with a passion for Film and TV to join our client as Head of Business Affairs.

Our client is a global provider of high quality original content. In partnership with a range of well-known studios and media companies, it creates, finances and distributes content (both Film and TV) to a worldwide audience.

You will oversee the development, financing, production and exploitation phase of our clients projects. You will also contribute to strategic initiatives alongside the rest of the leadership team. The business is very entrepreneurial and has retained its startup culture.

As such, you will need to be able to thrive in this environment and have the appetite to grow with the business and help it achieve its objectives.

The ideal candidate will be from private practice or inhouse and will suit someone who really wants to be fully part of a fast-paced and growing business. At this stage, our client is more interested in finding talented lawyers with deal management experience (corporate finance ideally) who have a demonstrable interest in or passion for the media sector.

You must be a fast learner, a self-starter and ambitious. Excellent academics and qualifications are a must, as is high attention to detail. Strong written and presentation skills are a prerequisite to being successful in this position.

This is a very unique and highly visible role. It will appeal to a spirited and confident person who is looking for a challenging environment where she or he can shape their own role.
